E.g. Vid 9: Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend

The narrative for the Girlfriend music video is that there are two females, both played by Avril Lavigne, one with a boyfriend and one who wants to go out with the other girls boyfriend. The two girls intimidate each other until eventually the boy is won over by the originally single girl. The narrative is an interpretation of the songs lyrics.The single girl is represented as a rocker, connoted by her black hair, black clothing and accessories as well as her attitude. The boy is similar to this in appearance. The other girl however has ginger hair, wears glasses and boring, plain clothing which connotes her personality as being boring and intellectual.

Girlfriend was the first video ever to reach 100 million views on YouTube.There is also performance footage of Avril Lavigne and backing band members. It is filmed in a large studio and has three backdrops styled with Avril Lavigne's skull logo.
